            Appeal 2007-0770                                                                                  
            Application 09/752,330                                                                            

        1                                         CONCLUSION                                                  
        2          We sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 48 under the                       
        3   judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting.  However, we do                 
        4   not sustain the Examiner’s rejections of claims 1 through 48 under 35 U.S.C.                      
        5   § 103(a) as we do not find that sufficient evidence to support the Examiner’s                     
        6   rejection of independent claims 1, 13, 25, and 37.    The decision of the Examiner                
        7   is affirmed.                                                                                      
        8          No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                    
        9   appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv) (2006).
